Khan Academy vs. Math Class

So precalc has been pretty good. Until, we got out of review. Now we are stepping into the world of actual precalculus and everything was making sense until the concepts were beginning to be explained. What I thought I understood now was just a jumble of variables and numbers forming something that looked like math. So, looking for an alternative from my long math class that was simply confusing my very existence (maybe a little dramatic) I remembered Khan’s videos! I scrolled through long pages looking for precalculus videos on limits and finally came across the series covering limits. And within 9 minutes, the concepts my math class tried to explain in an hour and a half was cleared up. Even continuity is starting to fall into place and making sense as I work out my homework. So thank you Khan! I have to say, I have never realized how badly generic teaching ideas can be. Math speech just sometimes doesn’t compute.

If you are curious to know what I was relearning, here it is: https://www.khanacademy.org/math/trigonometry/limit_topic_precalc/limits_precalc/v/limit-examples-w–brain-malfunction-on-first-prob–part-4

The Wonderful Who?

I seem to always find things I want to share with the world, but before could never find a good outlet to express myself. Facebook is to personal and twitter just doesn't let long winded people like me get their point across. So I went outside the box(kind of) and found something else to pleasure myself with to express my unique outlook on the world. I usually find quirky videos or have quirky idea I feel need to be shared with the rest of the world; it's a quirky blog. I'm in high school, but too paranoid to tell you what grade, so I will leave that to your vast imagination. Maybe I'm 22, in high school, on my fourth attempt at trying to pass the CAHSEE. Who knows? I sincerely hope you expend some time to explore a glimpse of the inside of my mind and take a look around! I'm sure you will find at least one interesting thing.
